Is it possible to date someone if you can’t have sex anymore for health reasons

[Nowyouseemenowy0udont]

For various reasons I can’t have sex and don’t feel like it. I’m single, but sad that I may be alone for the rest of my life now.

Is it possible to still have a relationship without sex? I think I’m just going to put most people off straight away 🙁

It's understandable and possible, but it may take a while to find the right person. All the best op.

Yes but you need to be upfront about it as I'd imagine a lot aren't up for it.

PIV is not the only way to have sex. do you really mean all form and methods?

Presumably asexuals, those with low libido or similar reason to yourself could be happy in a more non penetrative sex/ companionship based relationship.

Perhaps there are specific dating/meet up sites already that cater for this subtype like others by interests or kinks.

There will be men with the same
either ED or no appetite …
so you want companionship and affection ?

would you want any sexual touch at all ?

thanks to the WWW you could find someone
might take a while though x

and you’d need to be very direct in what you want and don’t want

Thanks for the replies. I thought about ED too. I think it could be a long search though.

It will be very hard to find someone I think, but you can try

With the right person, yes... and you must be totally up front from the get-go.
My friend was like this and for her, dating was disastrous because she wouldn't be honest with the men she was meeting, and then she felt angry when they expected sex after a while, which is a healthy and normal thing to want.
She considered them pushy and predatory. I don't think they were at all. I think they wanted something that many people want in a relationship: sex. And she had not been clear in her wishes.
There will be people out there for you, OP. They do exist.
Personally, I don't plan on ever being in a relationship again because sex is off the cards and I don't fancy the pressure of having to offer something to someone that I can't. But that's me.

I don't know what she expected to happen! Did she change her approach? OP maybe try asexual dating sites

I guess it also depends on your age & what your dating age range would be.

OP there are plenty of asexual people out there and I'm sure there's dating websites. Maybe have a look at some forums?

Worth thinking first whether you don't desire sex at all, or that your health issues have, understandably, put you off.

Lots of types of sex that aren't penetration, and so you wouldn't want to enter into a asexual relationship unless you definitely are.

Absolutely, OP, just be upfront about what you are looking for and ignore anyone who takes out their own personal insecurities on you by telling you it's not a "real" relationship or some bollocks like that. Sex and love can vary a lot from one couple to another, there's no single right way to do it.

Thanks 😊 I’ve only found two websites, very few people in the U.K it seems.
